New Orleans Mayors race candidate Charbonnet aims to kill AirBnB and push affordable plans

Charbonnet wants more government subsidized housing if elected
"Her proposal that property owners be required to claim homestead exemptions on homes they rent to visitors would largely eliminate the rental of homes owned by non-residents or by residents who own and rent multiple properties. It wasn’t immediately clear Tuesday just how many properties would be affected, though the impact could be significant."

Looks like the Charbonnet is starting to lose the white vote in large numbers right now with the Bagneris announcement.

New Orleans is another activist mayor away from 70s level white flight.
ETA:
Guess which one of these she will abandon upon being elected, hint, it's not the affordable housing

The Four Seasons is expected to bring in roughly $13.2 million a year to the city, an estimate Charbonnet called “conservative” in an interview Tuesday. Under her proposal, half of that money might be dedicated to affordable housing, while the other half would go to public safety

We don't need subsidized housing. How did people afford abodes in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries in america?

Short-term rentals “can change the character of our neighborhoods and remove affordable rental housing from the market,” Charbonnet said.
So can making subsidized housing available in areas it previously wasn't.

Charbonnet said she consulted some of the same advocacy groups that produced the HousingNOLA plan.
“They all agreed that this was a good plan, which gave me a very high comfort level that I was on the right track,” she said.
Now consult some of the HOAs where there are a high number of homes used for short term rentals and see if they agree.

new Orleans should have gone full throttle on allowing STRs (for the next 3-5 years), which would have driven up the property values, and coincidentally lead to forcing out the "trash" who could no longer afford to live there
THEN, you ban the STRs
doing it now is just a big

Culture can't be pushed out.

I have no idea why we think we are SF or NYC (places with actual industry/jobs)
we are a tourist/boutique city and should accommodate that as much as possible
cutting off a huge source of the local economy is truly a terrible idea, especially under the guise of preserving "neighborhood character" - (wtf does even mean?)
i do think that the STRs could have been a catalyst to change the identity (ie remove the underclass) of the city but that ship has sailed.

Ask every single taxpayer in the nation if they'd rather their neighboring home be a short term rental or a Section 8 home. Guess which Carbonnet is choosing?
This is one of the best examples of why I'll NEVER buy in NOLA. The government (and the citizens) are incompetent and corrupt to the core.
Seriously, I'm not a super smart or gifted fella, but give me complete control of the city, and I could make it one of the best places in the nation to live within a decade.

I should've clarified. I know the rent houses won't be turned directly into subsidized housing.
Was more of a general comment. Although - It all depends on if there is a buyers market for the areas containing a large number of STR properties.

Losing the underclass worries black Democrats. There isn't enough left in the way of industry to really even fight this stupidity either.

She said she would keep the “smart housing mix” plan that, if passed by the council, would require developers to reserve a portion of all new residential projects for affordable housing
I continue to be amazed at how these liberals are just fine with telling people what they can and can't do with their own property.

That's not what I meant
"Changing the character" of neighborhoods is only a negative when poors/minorities are being forced out. It's positive when they are moving in.
